Beads and colors

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

These are photos of a set of bead jewelry I made recently with a brown color motif. These are very easy to make and was just a matter of choosing the right beads and stringing them together. Below are three bracelets.

Below is a necklace.

These are all just a combination of stone, wood, shell, plastic and […]

Hairpin lace work in progress

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

I just finished a second length of yellow hairpin lace crochet (each one is about 350 loops long). I intend to make one hairpin lace each day and not try to do more than that so as not to work too obsessively. My hands could get rather painful if I work too much. I’ve been […]

This is a purse I made tonight in order to learn making cluster/pineapple stitch. This is a very easy and simple project. I used two colors with the alternating patterns more regular on the back of the purse (photo below). The rest of the stitches I used are chain, slip stitch, single crochet and double […]

Three Bead Necklaces

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Here are three bead necklaces I made. The necklace below was made from old and found beads just last month. It was quite easy to make and simply meant bringing together the kinds of beads that developed into this simple pattern.

The three bead necklaces below are made from tiny glass beads and are much more […]

Boil crab meat (add a bit of salt in water). Add togue (mung bean sprouts) after lowering heat when it boils. Beat eggs. Add chopped green chilli peppers and some flour. Add the crab and togue (together with a bit of the water). Mix into a batter. Fry in oil as you […]
